terry264 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Zebco 202, and it's probably 50 yrs. old. Still have it for a backup reel in my tackle box and have to use it occasionally when another brand takes a dump. Have had to put new line on it a few times over the years because it looked like a coil spring when casted-haha. Been through several reels over the years and currently have a zebco 33 on the pole (same pole btw). It seems to be holding up well but is in need of some new line on it too.

Dawg Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Zebco as well. Caught my first fish in a deep swamp off the Neches River in the middle of some cypress knees. Can't remember what kind of fish, just vaguely remember the trip with my dad and brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
